Ripple Announces Partnership with Cambridge Global Payments

The international payment processing company Cambridge Global Payments (CambridgeFx) has teamed up with Ripple to use its blockchain in order to adopt its xRapid liquidity promotion technology to promote a fast and efficient form of payment processing worldwide.

Ripple currently provides 3 technological solutions for those companies oriented to the exchange of financial assets: xRapid which is used as a source of liquidity, xCurrent which is oriented to a bilateral processing of payments and xVia which focuses exclusively on sending money. They all run on the company’s centralized blockchain platform using its XRP token as a means of value transmission.
